Wardrobe golden oldies

2008-08-29 14:14:33 by Angie in youlookfab
 
Fashion evolves. Our bodies and lifestyles change constantly, and with them the contents of our wardrobe. Updating, replacing and duplicating clothing, footwear and accessories is a way of life. But alongside the items in our wardrobe that will only last for one season, there are others that have lasted a lot longer. Today we pay tribute to...

If you like fringe, this is your season. Robin Hood meets Pocahontas with a bit of the Wild West and the good old 70s thrown into the mix. Youll find boots, shoes, handbags, scarves and clothes overtly trimmed with statement fringe in stores right now This is not my favourite Autumn 2008 trend. I dont fancy fringe on anything other than a flirty...

Whos wearing the pants?

2008-08-25 15:06:25 by Angie in youlookfab
 
Menswear inspired trends are hot for Autumn, and I love a bit of the old androgynous look thrown into the mix with an uber feminine twist. Ties, waistcoats, spectator peds, tuxedos and boyfriend cardigans are great ways in which menswear looks can work on women with the right amount of grace and girly edge Bobbie Thomas of NBCs TODAY describes...

Back to school style

2008-08-22 14:50:04 by Angie in youlookfab
 
...fashion event School must have been a different experience sans the uniform. Id love to hear what it was like expressing your individual style at school. How did you feel about what you wore, and how did your peers make you feel about your style? Is there really variety, or is it just a new type of uniform as most kids make every effort to...

2008-08-18 14:14:02 by Angie in youlookfab
...fashion buyers repeated the transitional look for Autumn. Interesting I liked the look of the ped when it first came out and I still do. It is edgy, modern and very new. They look super with a pair of skinny bottoms. I also like the peep-toe bootie with frocks and skirts on the right body type. This shoe is off limits for me personally,...
